 As above, no issues,   Can be done quite quickly but as always with landys allow time for rusty/seized bits n pieces  :lol:

Nope, fit disco ones.......... job sorted, the only slight issue i see with fitting disco 300 axles, is the rubber donut on the rear diff, but that can be sorted..!
gone from 200tdi.... to 300tdi... still with loads done to it, in fact, even more than the last truck...LOL!!!

PLus you end up with 2 steering dampers.  I have to be honest I think the axle mounted damper on the Disco works better, despite the one on the drag link moving further (you'd expect more damping) I find I get wheel flutter without the one on the axle.
